herstory /noun/ — history viewed from a female or specifically feminist perspective, with special attention to the experiences of women.
Join us for an artist talk with members of the Herstory Printmaking Collective, a collaborative based in Albuquerque, NM, that creates portrait murals of influential women who have impacted how we see and understand the world.
Using an accessible relief printmaking technique to make bold and compelling images printed onto newsprint for wheat-pasting, Herstory has led workshops and live printmaking demos, and installed murals in venues across the Southwest, including the Santa Fe Railyard, the Beehive Building in Mancos, the University of New Mexico’s Masley Art Gallery, the Southwest Printmaking Fiesta in Silver City, and the mobile Axle Contemporary Gallery, among other sites.
This fall, the Center of Southwest Studies will partner with the Herstory Printmaking Collective to facilitate a workshop with Fort Lewis College Art & Design students. Drawing inspiration from the Center’s archival and museum collections, students will create portraits of “Women of the Southwest” that will be installed alongside short bios for community viewing and reflection.
